Rubber motor mounts, BUT I had a metal bar that bolted to the motor and the frame, another bar the bolted from the header collector area to the frame. The rear of the side pipe was then bolted solid to the frame. So I'm thinking, "OK, aint nothing moving ANYWHERE, I got it ALL solid now!" Trans mount was rubber and left alone.

It was kinda cool at first, I could feel the body (in my seat) "torquing" when I would "load" the motor. It vibrated the car too, didn't feel comfortable driving, but that was kinda "neat" also, like a "bad ass" Cobra thing.

I suspect the "vibration" is what cracked the headers just above the collector where the four tubes come together. I had it welded and took off all the support "bars".

.....back to the drawing board.
